epg2timers is a tool that allows you to use the web EPG at http://tvtv.de to program VDR from anywhere in the world simply by clicking on the things you want vdr to record in the http://tvtv.de listings.
I apologize for being kind of slow in developing epg2timers lately. I am doing most of my own timer programming using VDRAdmin now. But since many epg2timers users asked - here is a new version.
epg2timers version 1.5.2a is now available in Klaus' Tools directory at
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/pub/people/kls/vdr/Tools/epg2timers-1.5.2a.tar.bz2
Changes since epg2timers 1.4.5:
1.5.2 21-Sep-2007 Update channel map. Use stop time instead of duration.
1.5.2a 15-Jun-2008 Update channel map. Adapt code to new merkliste format and to the fact that bookmarks are no longer supported.
See the README file included with the distribution.
Special thanks go to Christian Holpert who has done most of the work required to port epg2timers to the new http://tvtv.de merkliste format.

Hello Carsten,
it's good to hear that somebody is updating these scripts/programs for the new TVTV pages. Personaly I preferred the "old" format of the pages, but if we can participate for free on a semi-commercial website, I don't mind.
My question: Are there any plans to support also the extended information like actor, director, year of first appearence, etc? We can get these infos just by setting "jl_format=3", but it's not decoded by epg2timer.cxx. I can try to create a patch for that. But if somebody else is just working on that, then I prefer to wait for that solution because that might lead to a faster result. I am realy interested in a solution for that because I don't like to loose this information, if it's there. I use all the vdr.info for a content description in the menue of my DVDs.
But anyway, thanks for this script/program bundle. I use it now for a long time...

Sounds like an interesting idea. No, I am not actively enhancing epg2timers at the moment. I have another very time-consuming project this year.

Feel free to include it in your next version.

Carsten,
a question about this version. In earlier versions you had a variable called "episode", and I set the value of that to "" in my source file. Now you just add the string "~EPISODE" to very programm name (if I understand the source correctly.
Any special reason for doing that?
Just FYI, tvtv.de seems to have changed the names of many UK programmes, whereas uk_2008 used to work, now its called just 2008.
Cheers Brian

You are mostly right. In epg2timers <= 1.4.5, asking VDR to configure the episode name by adding "~EPISODE" to the timer entry was configurable. In 1.5.2, I changed it, so epg2timers automatically uses "~EPISODE" for short recordings up to an hour. For me, that works perfectly almost all the time. How do you like it?
If you dont, I guess I can make the threshold configurable (default = 60 minutes) and you can set it to 0 to disable it.

Carsten,
no need to change it for me, I just edited the source to set the value to "" all the time. Your solution would be OK for me though should you distribute another version.
Cheers Brian
